Testimony
Hello,
Helpless and confused I ended up in Grande Prairie Detox. While I was there I heard about Rising Above.
I’d run out of room for hurt and pain in my heart. I had made so many bad choices in life. I didn’t know what I was getting into but my way wasn’t working. It seemed like it was the path I was supposed to be on, so I went. I don’t think Rising Above knew what they were getting into when they got me. My life has changed through the Inner Healing, Life-skill classes and the support from the staff. I’ve learned how to think and make better choices. Rising Above has been an instrument of God to guide us through the Program. The Program has restored my faith. And, faith has restored my heart with love.
I thank God for putting Rising Above in my path. Best choice I ever made. Thank you Rising Above for helping me to be a better person in my journey. P.P.
